Are you still thinking about flipping that switch ?

So, you're happy, comfortable and self-satisfied working on Windows platform - you are willing to live with fighting spyware, viruses, trojans on a regular basis. You are also accustomed to frequent system hang-ups, reboots and malfunctions of the weird kind.

Why ? Because you believe that Windows is user-friendly and Linux is hard and difficult to setup/configure/install and use - Oh wait! When was the last time you struggled getting Linux to work on your desktop ?

Linux has come a long way fighting other "user-friendly" OS head-on for desktop adoption. If you are not convinced, you *must* look at a couple of Linux desktops running the latest OpenSuSE, Ubuntu or Mint Linux! Linux is now much easier to use and live with - than Windows. Installation and configuration of most Linux desktop distributions have become extremely easy with support for commonly used desktop hardware out-of-the-box - which means no more finger-twitching with hardware drivers. What's more ? no more spyware, viruses and unnecessary weirdness that you'd have accustomed with on Windows platform. Also, most Linux distributions come with an overwhelming amount of software bundled with them - from web browser, email client, multimedia players, chat/instant messaging programs, games, educational software, development tools (the list goes on!)

And yes, what you would really enjoy is the freedom that comes with it - freedom to use your desktop the way you always wanted!

Still not convinced ? You must download the e-book
"The Easiest Linux Guide You’ll Ever Read - an introduction to Linux for Windows users” - a book by Scott Morris - A full 162 page well written download-able PDF document at that site should convince you :-)

So, if you're still sitting there contemplating about flipping that switch, wait no further - you'll never repent for it.
